IE Woes? Who gives a damn?

Oddly, I just spent an hour trying to figure out why the sidebar of this blog disappears when viewed in Internet Explorer 6. There’s apparently a missing tag, or a bad HTML element somewhere, or whatever it is today that causes IE6 to get the vapors.
I say ‘oddly’ because I really don’t give a fuck how any of my pages look in IE. If you’re still using Microsoft’s abortion of a browser after all suffering and human misery that it’s caused, you are a traitor and a Communist. Which is unfortunate, because look what you assholes are using?

I mean, what’s up with you dickheads, anyway? This table tells me that at least 64.36% of my visitors are slobbering, knuckle-dragging waterheads. Did you ever wonder why 90% of email nowadays is spam? It’s because dickheads like you surf porn sites using Internet Explorer, get viruses, and your computer uses your cable modem to send spam to people who should hate you, 24/7.
Is it really just beyond you people to go out and download Firefox? Do you really not understand that using IE is like going to prison with a naked Angelina Jolie tattooed on your back?

@Eric: you sharing pr0n with Zonker is quite possibly the scariest, disturbingest, and downright depressingest thing I've heard all day. Send me links.

I could be wrong because I don't work in a traditional crappy office, but methinks that most workplaces use IE6 and their employees don't have the admin privileges to either upgrade to IE7 or use something FAR BETTER. And as everyone knows, the best place to read blogs is . . . on their employer's clock. ;-)

Anyway, I use Firefox and have for quite some time now. So don't be tarring me with the webtard brush, Rube. Asshole. No wonder the Krauts are deporting your ass to merry olde England.
